I wish we HAD carpet bombed Hanoi. And even more so Haiphong. Destroying that port would have choked off the massive supply chain of Soviet weapons and gear.

“I wish we HAD carpet bombed Hanoi.”

We did. Read about Linebacker II. 3 solid days of SAC B-52s and F-111. Biggest bombing since WWII. They ran screaming back to Paris to sign whatever we wanted at the moment.

Obviously we weren't in VN to win. Otherwise we would have done as you said.

So what were we in VN for? Ole Dwight told us a lil about it. It was for long term MilInd contracts. We didn't want to win, we just wanted to fund murder Inc.
